Cincinnati Bengals’ Chase Brown says fan poured alcohol on him after Carolina game, NFL, NFLPA investigating

A productive day from second-year running back Chase Brown helped the Cincinnati Bengals get their first win of the season.

Brown scored two touchdowns in a 34-24 win over the Panthers in Charlotte.

But Brown’s happy walk to the locker room was unpleasantly interrupted when a fan showed up and poured the running back a drink.

The incident has prompted a review by the NFL and the players’ association. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy confirmed to ESPN that the league is investigating the incident in question.

Bengals offensive lineman Ted Karras, the Bengals’ NFLPA representative, said a video review would allow additional information to be collected.

Michael Thomas, player director for the NFLPA, said they would attempt to identify the person involved in the incident.

“We’ll see if we can identify the person and then we’ll go from there,” Thomas told ESPN. “But that should never happen to a player.”

Brown said he threw his gloves into the stands above the visiting team’s tunnel and was excited to celebrate the victory over Carolina with his teammates.

“I went in (and) I felt the fluid or whatever, and then when I saw the video I was like, ‘Damn, that really happened,'” Brown told reporters after the game.
